Agency: Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration
On June 30, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') received a request from the Association of American School Paper Suppliers (``AASPS'') \1\ for a changed circumstances review for the purpose of revoking, in part, the antidumping duty order on certain lined paper products (``CLPP'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). AASPS claims that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which the order was issued no longer wish to maintain the order with respect to FiveStar[supreg] AdvanceTM notebooks and notebook organizers without polyvinyl chloride (``PVC'') coatings. Therefore, we are notifying the public of our intent to revoke, in part, the antidumping duty order as it relates to imports of FiveStar[supreg] AdvanceTM notebooks and notebook organizers as described below. The Department invites interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.

Agency: Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration
On April 23, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register the initiation of an antidumping circumvention inquiry to determine if certain products were circumventing the antidumping duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from the People's Republic of China (PRC).\1\ That initiation indicated the merchandise subject to the inquiry was produced by Wuyang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. (Wuyang), but also noted the Department intended ``to address whether its circumvention ruling will apply to particular producers, exporters, and/or importers * * * or to all U.S. imports'' of certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from the PRC. Id. at 21242. On February 22, 2011, the Department published its notice of affirmative preliminary determination of circumvention in which it found that imports from the PRC of certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate products with 0.0008 percent or more boron, by weight, regardless of the producer or exporter or importer of the merchandise, and otherwise meeting the description of in-scope merchandise, are within the class or kind of merchandise subject to the order on certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from the PRC.\2\ We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the Preliminary Determination, and received briefs and rebuttal briefs from various parties. After evaluating the comments submitted by parties, we find no basis for altering the preliminary determination referenced above. Therefore, we continue to determine that imports of the aforementioned merchandise are circumventing the order on cut-to-length carbon steel plate from the PRC.

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and South Atlantic; Reef Fish Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Amendment 26 and Amendment 29 Supplement
Document Number: 2011-21000
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-08-17
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS proposes to supplement the regulations implementing Amendments 26 and 29 to the Fishery Management Plan for Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico (FMP), as prepared and submitted by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council). Amendment 26 established an individual fishing quota (IFQ) program for the red snapper commercial sector of the reef fish fishery in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Amendment 29 established a multi-species IFQ program for the grouper and tilefish component of the commercial sector of the reef fish fishery in the Gulf EEZ. If implemented, this rule would implement transferability measures for the red snapper IFQ program contained in Amendment 26 that are required to be effective as of January 1, 2012. This rule would also require all Gulf IFQ applicants and participants to certify their status as U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens to meet current Gulf IFQ program and Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson- Stevens Act) requirements. Additionally, this rule would make revisions to the codified text to remove outdated language specific to the Gulf IFQ programs. The intent of this rule is to specify the process for the general public to participate in the Gulf red snapper IFQ program and ensure efficient functioning of both IFQ programs in the Gulf of Mexico.
